Saturday, October 24We start today with a tour of the Israeli Museum, filled with amazing Biblical artifacts. Located here is a model of Jerusalem, representing how the city looked on the eve of the Jewish revolt 36 years after the Passion of Jesus, and the Shrine of the Book, which houses the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The rest of the day is a free day to explore Jerusalem on your own. The possibilities are endless— bargain for olive wood and jewelry in the bazaars of the Old City, walk the rampart walls or spend time in several of the many museums. This will be the Jewish Sabbath day and many Jewish shops will be closed. Talk to Ariana for bargaining tips.
You may wish to visit the nearby Holocaust Museum, Yad Vashem, on your own, . Return to the hotel by taxi. We will probably have a very late night flight back to the USA and will eat our farewell dinner in the little town of Abu Ghosh, famous for their hummus and Arabic food.
